Robin Fellhauer jokes about Bundesliga record and hilarious couch mishap

FC Augsburg midfielder Robin Fellhauer was in a joking mood after scoring the fastest goal in Bundesliga history during Saturday afternoon's 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich. The 28-year-old needed just 8.4 seconds to break a record previously shared by Karim Bellarabi and Kevin Volland, both of whom scored after nine seconds.

"Yeah, they were very slow," Fellhauer joked when asked about the two former record holders by Sky Germany. "But, all kidding aside, it's indescribable to be a part of something so big.

To be at the top is an indescribable feeling." Fellhauer's historic goal came courtesy of a remarkable mistake from Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The visitors actually kicked off the match themselves, with Luis Díaz passing directly back to Neuer.

The 40-year-old took a heavy touch before his attempted clearance struck the onrushing Fellhauer in the back. Bellarabi had previously established the nine-second record for Bayer Leverkusen against Borussia Dortmund in August 2014.

Volland equalled it for Hoffenheim against Bayern almost exactly one year later. Fellhauer was even shown recorded congratulatory messages from both players during his post-match interview.

"That's very cool," the new record holder responded. "I'm grateful to both of them." Robin Fellhauer's humor-filled Bundesliga life The occasion was especially meaningful for a player who had to wait until the age of 27 to make his Bundesliga debut.

Fellhauer spent five years developing at Freiburg before moving to SV Elversberg in 2019. The Mannheim native subsequently spent six years in Saarland, helping the club climb from the Regionalliga through the 3.

Augsburg signed the former Elversberg captain for a reported €700,000 in summer 2025. Despite arriving as a relative newcomer to top-flight football, Fellhauer went on to feature in all 34 Bundesliga fixtures during his debut campaign.
